I have what I thought would be a simple idea, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work.

Mud outputs:
(Injured) (Hostile) An angry troll searches for someone to kill.
(Injured) (Hostile) An angry troll is here, fighting PlayerX!
(Injured) (Hostile) An angry troll is here, fighting YOU!

Line 1 is the normal description of the mob. (however it has been injured by either you or another player, thus the injured flag)
Line 2 is the descripton when mob is fighting another player.
Line 3 is the description when mob is fighting you.

I wanted a trigger that would #ECHO various alerts depending on which of these 3 outputs occur.

I thought that a simple trigger on ~(Injured~) (*) would be ok, and then use #IF to set off the alerts, but the outputs between line 1 and lines 2/3 are so different, I don't know if I can do that, unless I can just capture and evaluate "part" of the output.

Also with various mobs, the mobname/descriptions can vary widely. If I could get it down to 1 alert for Lines 1/2, and a seperate for Line 3, that would be ok. I just can't figure out how to get it to trigger on one w/o triggering the others or not triggering at all.

The only common factor between all 3 is the (Injured) part.
Lines 2 and 3 both have "is here, fighting (%w)!"

Is there a way to trigger off the (Injured) flag, and then capture the "is here, fighting (%w)." parts, and then run that through some #IF (%1 = "is here, fighting YOU!") or #IF (%1 = "YOU") {#ECHO Your mob!} {#ECHO Not your mob?}

Basically, if lines 1 or 2 are displayed, I want the "Not your mob?" to echo, and if line 3 displays, then I want "Your Mob!" to display.

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can either use two separate triggers (one for mobs in combat, one for mobs not) or a single regex. I'd recommend the former.

#trig {~(Injured~) [%w ] searches for someone to kill.} {#say whatever}
#trig {~(Injured~) [%w ] is here, fighting (%w)!} {#if (%1="YOU") {#say fighting you} {#say fighting someone else}}

Actually i figured it out.. I found a space in my trig where there was not one in the mud out put.

^{~(Injured~)*|~(Injured~)* is here~, fighting (%w)}

#IF (%1 <> "YOU" or %1 = "") {#SAY Not your mob?} {#SAY Your Mob!}
